This kind of movie that is limited to a few hours can actually seduce the audience's desire to watch the movie the most. Generally speaking, such a movie will have a compact plot. However, "Half Hour of Fright" is an exception. Although the film has the shadow of "Zombie Land", the plot is also very compact. Many sections are compressed in less than 90 minutes of plot. This is the crux of the problem. I just idled a few lines out, and each line seemed extremely unfull. Although the rhythm was invigorating and dripping, but the process was really circumstantial. The director did not concentrate the three scattered lines together vigorously, using one The clichéd links put it together, and the film lacks basic logic. This also allows the film to tell an interesting but unintended story in a context of no beginning and end.
Of course, the atmosphere of the movie is still very good. There is a sense of crisis that comes in an instant; there are dull nerdy jokes; from time to time there is a car drifting, all of which bring a lot of highlights to "Half Hour of Fear". But having said that, such gimmicks can be found in any comedy movie. It is not uncommon to be marked with such symbols. The irregularity of the film narrative length makes these symbolic labels messy, saying it is a highlight. It can only be divided and appreciated. The plot of "Half an Hour of Fright" lacks the proper three-dimensionality and cannot form a perfect whole.
Jesse Eisenberg was completely nailed to death in the realm of "otaku movies". In fact, the performance in "Half an Hour of Fear" is not bad, but unfortunately, his acting skills are nothing more than a collection of previous works such as "Social Network", "Zombie Land", "Squid and Whale", "Adventure Park" and so on. The performance mode, which is familiar to him, is not challenging. It is neither exceptionally bad nor surprisingly good. In fact, being named the male number one is just mediocre performance.
